Ask Nikki!

Greetings from the valley of the sun! I’m a 25-year old-graphic designer and my work environment is very playful and relaxed but I do have the occasional business conference to attend. I love color, patterns and Asian styles. My problem is that I have big hips and a small waist, to the point that my girlfriend ...

Hey Nikki, I was wondering what kind of bags would be good for high school – big enough for textbooks and yet stylish? Thanks! Rachel, 15, Australia Hi Nikki, I wondering what kind of bag I should bring to work? Laptop bags seem too old school for work. Is there a more modern kind of bag that is ...

Hi Nikki! I am an avid follower of your advice and I’ve been saved from many potential fashion emergencies thanks to it. I checked your older posts to make sure I didn’t miss anything for my problem, but unfortunately I found nothing. I am about 5′7, closer to the thin side, and in the words ...

Hi Nikki! I’m an Asian guy (175cm, 65 kg) who’s really into Asian fashion. I love the sophisticated look as well as other looks like in Dangoon.

Greetings Nikki! I’ve been entertaining myself with your answers and they’re quite good. I’m enjoying your inputs and they really help me try out different combinations and see what works with me.

How was your Christmas, dearies? I hope you’ve all recovered from your post-holiday stuffing, err, haze. For those who were too busy wrapping my presents (hint, hint!) last week to read my updates, I came up with my own naughty n’ nice list. Last week was about the fashion faux pas; this week, ...

Dear darling readers, There is really no rest for the stylishly wicked (or should that be wickedly stylish?), even during the holidays! While you guys are probably enjoying your Christmas break, here I am still getting emails by the sleigh-load. (I’m just complaining for the sake of it – I need my weekly fix of fashion ...

Hiya Nikki, Asian fashion is so addicting! I love all the adorable knits and shirts but sometimes they can look incredibly frumpy on me because my chest is quite large. I tend to look a lot wider and generally bigger in loose clothing. Aside from wearing a belt, what would you suggest I do about this? ...

Hello Nikki! I must admit that I love your answers and they really help. I have a New Year prom at school coming up and want to get my dress as soon as possible, though it’s kind of hard. Last year, I purchased a pink dress with a cute bow from YesStyle which I really ...
